nervous tension in the public sphere: political resistance that has shifted to ethnic, territorial, social and cultural realms.

For the specific challenges and resources per sector in the country, see the industry and governmentbuttons in the top menubar.

The below sectors must be developed at the national level and take benefit of global resources as listed at sector maps and government function maps in the global Actor Atlas. Achievements and initiatives for these sectors are addressed under the tab Country dashboard.

Are development efforts effective? Observations or comments on the development effectiveness and synergy in Nepal ( नेपाल )? Give them here. You can also express your ideas on what initiatives are most urgently needed. If possible explain why you think so.

Scope of the Book: The initiatives concluded, planned, or ongoing in Nepal ( नेपाल ) involving sector actors listed below, national and international actors (see the national Actor Map), and compliant with local, national and international statutes (laws).

Constraints: At the Constraint Dictionary common constraints facing development initiatives are classified by COFOG/COPNI class, and dependencies and impact spheres are indicated. The constraint map is under construction. The degree to which a constraint matters to local development, and is (can be) reduced by an initiative, is measured by indicators which are mapped, also by COFOG/COPNI class, at the Indicator Dictionary (under construction).

Achieving synergies across initiatives Initiative management is often the weakest link in the (strategy) execution chain. Traditional project and programme planning and communications approaches insufficiently use the bundling facilities that internet and wikis offer. As a precursor for an initiative atlas, the Nepal ( नेपाल ) Development Book aims to list all development initiatives and cluster them according to their COFOG or ISIC classification. In this way, proponents and stakeholders of new initiatives can easily discover what initiatives exist already. Suitable cooperative agreements can be made and double or competing efforts can be avoided early in the planning cycle.

Initiatives by Nepal ( नेपाल ) public authorities and private sector must both avoid the fragmentation of public resources and ensure a sufficient coverage of all functions of government for all members of their constituency. The Nepal ( नेपाल ) Local Development Books support striking such a balance.

Initiative books, used both by the multilateral agencies and provincial development stakeholders will help mitigate the risks of aid fragmentation.
Moreover, by adding initiatives from Nepal ( नेपाल ) here, the smaller project size should not be overstraining the limited absorptive capacity of poor recipient communities, it should not lead to inefficient communications with stakeholders, and it could be coupled to a more equitable spreading of the public resources.
